The premise, in the publisher's words
Sonic’s universe is thrown into chaos when a mysterious new power comes into force, creating ‘time holes’ which take Sonic and his friends back in time.

Now they must team up to defeat their enemies, save their friends, and find out who is behind this diabolical deed.

What you need to run it
The minimum specification calls for Intel Pentium Dual-Core T4200 (2x2.0GHz) or AMD equivalent, 2GB RAM (XP)/3GB RAM (Windows 7 / Vista) and NVIDIA GeForce 8800 (512MB) / ATI Radeon HD 2900 (512MB). At 2GB of RAM, it will run on essentially any working PC — that is below what a budget laptop ships with today. Install size is roughly 11GB. Both tiers are compared side by side on the requirements page, and you can check your own parts against them without installing anything.

Released around the same time: Batman: Arkham City, The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception, Minecraft: Java Edition.
